There's no better way to experience King's Day than to experience it on a boat! And no better way to boat than with Those Dam Boat Guys! And no better way to Those Dam Boat Guys than……..wait……what? I’ve gone too far. Whatever. Moving on.

Nope! Make some friends, loser!

Where do we meet?

The meeting Point will be our office at Prinsenstraat 13.

Where’s The DROP-OFF Point?

Same as our departure point!

Can I bring My Own food & drinks?

Of course! Our private tour package is stocked with plenty of boozy and non-boozy deliciousness, though if you want spirits, best to bring it yourself. We got shitty plastic cups & ice-cold ice for ya.

Can I smoke?

On our tours, it’s always possible. If you’re cool, the captain’s cool too.

Do we have a toilet onboard?

That is a good question! Bathrooms are to King’s Day as male nipples are to nursing a litter of kittens — too few, and not very effective. That’s to say: there are no toilets on our cozy boats, but there are toilets at canal-side cafes… or in the homes of entrepreneurial toilet-owning locals. Expect to pay a euro.

What if it rains?

Bad weather? In Amsterdam? Never heard of it! But seriously — while Spring’s been amazing so far, we’re prepared for anything. All boats have stylish transparent roofs with roll-up windows: open and breezy in the sun, dry and snug if it rains, with a full 360 view either way.

What route will we take?

Ironically, King’s Day, a day that has come to symbolize the immense freedom and individualism for which Dutch culture allows…is also a day with an immense number of freedom-loving asshole individuals in your way, limiting our movement on the water. True as that might be, you’re all there to celebrate, so you’ll have a blast cozying up to the other boats on the canals, or cruising along, enjoying whatever party you happen to be passing. See the map below if you’re curious about what routes are possible.
